Here’s an early overview of the 2013 Air Canada Top Tier program, including thequalification criteria by tier and the associated key benefits.
Similar to previous years, qualification for the 2013 Top Tier Program will be determined by the number of Status Miles or Status Flight Segments earned on eligible flights operated by Air Canada and the Star Alliance member airlines, between January 1 and December 31, 2012.
As part of the required number of Status Miles or Status Flight Segments necessary to achieve Top Tier status, you need to earn a minimum of 10,000 Air Canada Status Miles or 5 Air Canada Status Flight Segments on eligible flights operated by Air Canada or Air Canada Express. Note that Air Canada Status Miles earned in conjunction with an Unlimited Flight Pass count towards the Air Canada Minimum Flight Requirement. However, Bonus Air Canada Status Miles earned through promotional activities do not.
The 2013 Top Tier privilege period will be from March 1, 2013 until February 28, 2014.
